Los Sunday Streets: Boys & boys.

Last Mission-Sunday streets was all about California girl power, well this time, I gotta show some love to my cute boys on the streets. For sure. Good riding, now if you all had coffee to hand out, that would be pure utopia. Anyways, back to reality, enjoy my boy-set. Or men-set. Whatever, I like them all.

Say Hi to Allan. Hey hot stuff. Actually his stuff is cool. that fancy bag is an ice-chest in disguise...As if bikes are not an automatic super bonus point, these guys also have their super cute companion to go enjoy the car-free streets. Smart, very smart.

I met Cpt. Kirk last year also riding bikes. And he has been around the blog a couple of times. His smile is great, and his energy fantastic. Nice seeing you again!!Simple and effortless sun fun.He has also been in BATC before, hey & you know you'll be reading this. Sooooo, next time, say hi and let me ride your cool orange ride.Those batavus are sure serious comfy fun.

I would like to know what you mean by "pay to play." I thought one of the beauties of hipsterdom is that you *do not* have to pay to play. Mustaches are free to grow, plastic sunglasses are hella cheap and PBR costs like a dollar. What's yer beef?

What the fuck is the above anonymous poster even talking about? Dude's riding a bike at Sunday Streets and carrying a Timbuk2 bag. How does anything about that instantly make him a bad person? (My 6 year old Timbuk2 bag is still going strong, so I refuse to call anyone a hipster on the principle of having one of their bags. I carry it every single day.)

What does "pay to play" mean? And Allan's hardly to blame for the issues of missionmission - half the commenters are idiots, but that isn't his fault.

Every time I see/hear the word "hipster", I get a little more sleepy. Are we still having this same boring, idiotic conversation in two-thousand-fucking-nine? Can't people find something else to care about?

Yes, we are having the same conversation in 2009. Because, like AIDS, Hipsters wont go away. You see, there is nothing left to rebel against (see black president) and young people intrinsically need something to rebel against. So all of that energy is nauseatingly pumped into aforementioned hipster collateral (stupid hats, sideways haircuts, pants made from old sweaters, and profoundly stupid mopeds, etc... ad nauseum). "Look at me", never meant any less. So no amount of graffiti art, one-person-garage-bands, WOOT shirts or $20 hot dogs is going to change that. Basically the Echo Boomers and Hipsters got fucked. You basically just come off as a bunch of pampered, self indulgent pimples. Face it, you make more money at 25 than either one of your parents did when they retired. Living in SF isn't contra-anything. It's a fucking sorority party with tattoos. Wanna do something really interesting? Move to Bakersfield and be hip. I hear they have really great Salvation Army's. Oh, and your Timbuktu bag — it's gay. No matter how old it is.

negative energy refocusing in need. into something besides hate. if you'd like to see a change in the direction your neighborhood is heading, do something productive about it. spitting hate on a blog's comment thread does nothing but make your own insides boil. you might implode. this gets you nowhere.

It's funny how much time people spend thinking about how other people spend their time and money. Yeah, I go to the Union Square and I'm like "Wow, people actually shop at Gucci" but I don't get all agro and start talking about fucking Gucci shoppers and their $500 bags. What the fuck ever.

Who isn't tired of hipsters complaining about hipsters, and people in general complaining about hipsters? Do these people complain about tall buildings in NYC? If you don't like "hipsters" in the Mission or wherever go somewhere else and be lame or whatever it is you do.

Lastly, grow a pair Anonymous and at least post a name to go with your ill conceived rant.

dear anonymous thanks for making a homophobic comment to top it all of.........................for the 900000000th TIME "that is gay" "that bag is gay" etc. IS NOT OK!!!!!!!!!!!! LEARN IT perhaps you should focus your rage on researching the history of racism in America and Homophobia and as you yourself just proved there is quite a bit to rebel against. Educate yourself and check yourself. I can't believe this shit still goes on in SF unfucking believable.

Your style (if thats what you call it) will be done in 1.5 years. When you can buy neon green 80's shades and skin tight black jeans at Nordstrom, the tide has turned. Hipsters want to look different but end up all looking the same,tragic. so sad. Anyhoo enjoy the URL and i hope you fall face first on your "fixie" ruining your hair that you spent all morning on and your silver messenger bag strangles your girl like pencil neck and your eye make up runs all over your gay ass WOOT shirt. Die hipster scum...
